I tried to update to Windows 11 and disabled Compatibility Support Module (CSM). Now I'm stuck in a boot loop. I re-enabled CSM, but I'm still getting stuck in Windows 10's repair mode. I'm using an ASUS ROG B450-F motherboard. I've attempted to use the System Restore Point but had no luck. I've also tried commands like bootrec /rebuildbcd, but nothing works. What should I do next?

When you disable CSM, you're shifting from the legacy BIOS mode to UEFI mode, which relies on a different bootloader and drive formatting. It's common to encounter problems like boot loops in this transition. Usually, a clean install of the OS is required. You can also use the MBR2GPT command in recovery mode to convert the partitioning style from MBR to GPT, but be very cautious with that command, as it can risk your data. Make sure to back everything up first, just in case it fails.
If you're still stuck, try accessing your BIOS settings and ensure the boot order is set correctly. It might also help to reset the BIOS to default settings. Another option is to create a bootable Windows USB and attempt a repair install from there. This can help you get back on track without losing your data.
